Re: [ILUG-BOM] teaching spamassassin
by Pramila 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

hi, recently installed spamassassin. Am running spamd as root and have configured it to work with postfix. I regularly put all the missed spam into a folder and run sa-learn on it. Only thing is, it doesnt seem to be learning. I have fed it over 500 mails so far - but still no learning. I am running sa-learn as root. Do i need to run it as any specific user? I have setup a separate user for postfix to call spamc as. Any clues? -- regards kg I am facing same problem with DSPAM. I have qmail with vpopmail and using mysql_drv as storage backend. created a spam and notspam account for a domain. any suggestions ? Regards, Pramila

Its the degree of security and trust that matters.

It is indeed interesting to note how this list specializes in picking up a quarrel over some triviality.

Net Telephony on Linux
by Siddhesh Poyarekar 13 Feb '06

13 Feb '06

Hi, I've been searching for a Net Telephony solution today and realized that none of the providers (atleast from the ones I found) provide a non-windows dialer. MTNL seemed to come closest with a browser based dialer. But there was a catch. The javascript of the browser based dialer seems to be IE specific; it doesn't work on Firefox and Konqueror. I also tried running all dialers (VSNL, MTNL, WorldPhone) with wine but with no success. I couldn't get past much of the VB runtime crap (esp. MS Forms 2.0) inspite of installing the runtime and manually downloading and registering individual dlls. Does anyone around here know of a cheap net telephony solution which can work on my linux system? Regards, Siddhesh

reinstalling grub
by Ninad Bapat 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

Hi I have 2 hard drives installed and I have WinXP, Slackware,FC3 on hda1 and Ubuntu,Kanotix on hdb Recently Windows XP started giving some errors. For e.g whenever an application(Excel,firefox etc) was opened I got a popup message "Windows-Corrupt file C/WINDOWS/prefetch/xxxx.pf is corrupt and unreadable please run chkdsk" The application then would continue to run without any problems. Especially firefox always gave errors and all the files in profiles/mozilla went corrupt. I could not access my bookmarks and history. When I attempted to do chkdsk It complained that the File System is RAW and chkdsk does not support such filesystem. I tried to repair this XP installation by booting from the XP CD. Here also setup complained that C: is corrupt and cannot be repaired. So I tried to install XP again. Here when I select the option to install setup automatically selects my D drive (extended partition) and when I change it to C and select delete and proceed to install new it does not ask for any formatting option and gives the same error above. Now after all this exercise my Grub menu has been wiped off and now when I start my computer I get 2 options 1. Win XP professional 2. Win XP professional Setup. When I boot into Windows my display has become 640x480 and this cannot be changed. How do I restore Grub to atleast boot into Linux. Grub was installed when Ubuntu was installed Thanks Ninad

networking help: Allowing inbound ssh requests. (MTNL router)
by Abhishek Daga 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

Hello folks, wondering if anyone has tried this and has worked for them? Need someone from the outside (remote location) to access a *nix machine here. Setup is: MTNL Triband (no static IP assigned to me.). Using Dlink DSL 502 router. LAN IP being 192.168.1.1. WAN IP is what the outsider would use to get in. Connected to Netgear Router. (WAN IP = 192.168.1.2, LAN IP = 192.168.0.1). Machines are connected to this netgear router as 192.168.0.X) Earlier when I had Tataindicom broadband with a static IP, the only configuration was required at the netgear router level where i did port forwarding of the service to the desired machine. The TATA router had a different interface and a bridge was enabled there. I do not see a similar option here with mtnl. I tried to allow under advanced--filters, inbound access to the router IP (192.168.1.2) since this is the one connected to the mtnl dsl router. It says ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by host. Telneting to same IP gets me to the mtnl router (linux box) with no worries. Is it possible to ssh to any machine of mine with the current setup? thanks! -abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
